Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka expects the season to be completed.

Dubravka, who is back running again following the serious injury suffered at Southampton, believes July is the most likely return date with behind-closed-doors games. He bases that on the need to finish the season so that TV contracts aren't voided.

“Indeed, we have a long time without football. Players aren't used to playing in front of an empty auditorium. I have experienced half-empty grandstands in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, so it wouldn't be such a novelty for me," he said.

“We'll see how to set up the rules (for finishing the season). I think that the season will finish, as the loss of television rights would be huge. I just don't know when it will be. But probably not in June."
